Description:

This is unlike my past video mod which used bbcode, this one is more simple and works much better for the user too. What it does it parses the url when the post is viewed, so it will work with past links and new links.

So basically the user enters a video link in a post and its automaticly displayed as the actual embedded video.

great mod installing..
one request though.. as i use a lightbox to view some images in posts.. some videos are overlaying the background of the lightbox. this is normal as flash allways gets the top z-index.. unless not specified differently..

the best workaround is.. to add for "<embed links " ALLWAYS a wmode="transparent" AND for <object ... links a <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
youtube does it by default.. but others like google dont..

by adding it in the replacements for those that dont have it.. it makes it more compatible for other hacks AND i have the feeling it loads smoother.. (but id does NOT change any functionallity)
thumbs up for a great hack

Possibly a silly question, but will this work with 3.6.4?

I have someone working on my site, and I tried to have them install AnyMedia, but they are telling me it won't work with my version of vBulletin. I can't upgrade right now, because apparently the custom skin they made me will not work if I upgrade...

:erm:

When I add a Veoh or MySpace link it brings up a Google video player and nothing plays.

Youtube works great, and Google works if you find the right link. It took me 20 minutes of playing to find a google video link that worked right

I can't try them all to see if the rest work, these are the ones I needed and thus tested.

Any specific areas I need to snoop in to see what is wrong?

(Oh BTW, your logo is terribly distracting when I try to work. )

I tried:

We are running a video submission contest and your code is a huge help to us for users to show off their submissions quickly and easily.

Do you have a ETA on the fix or at least the needed repairs? As usual, time is critical and all the instructions we gave pointed out most video sites will work.
Unfortunately everytime somebody submits a link that doesn't work a kitten dies.

Ok well the 1st link works for me or at least my version the 2nd link is flawed and is a users page not a video page... the 3rd link was a issue on my part, i works now and will be added to 1.0.6 as well as Xtube, Vidmax, Redtube, Pornotube

you dont actually install the bitfield XML you just place it in the XML directory.

Weird...so I go back to my forum after seeing to work fine on yours and try it again. Bear in mind I added the link to my forum, tried it, found it didn't work then pasted the same link to this forum for you.
Now Veoh works.

That was the main one I was concerned with. The others are fluff. Thanks for looking into it. I should have posted on Scriptasy first before asking.

(On a related note, that is one lucky CareBear)
